SECTION 1: SAFETY
Before unpacking and installing the equipment, please carefully read these instructions.
Due to the complexity and potential risks associated with the installation of pendants, installation by
Hutz Medical Technicians is mandatory, unless agreed in writing at the quotation stage with the Hutz
Medical Service Manager.
The installation crew should comply with the safety, health and environmental requirements of the site in question.
Approval of the site’s safety official should be obtained prior to commencement of the installation.
Installation, commissioning, operation, servicing and maintenance of this equipment are to be carried out by
suitably competent personnel only.
The minimum specification for the reinforced concrete slab is 25MPA.
The slab must be able to support the weight of the fully laden pendant – refer the Product Data Sheet for the
pendant to be installed which is obtainable from the Hutz Medical Service Department (refer to cover page for
contact details).
Minimum reinforced concrete slab thickness to be 210mm to accommodate the fixing bolts.
Written approval from the Structural Engineer is required before drilling into the reinforced concrete slab.
The Slab to Ceiling Carrier installation must be signed off by the installation team leader to authorise the next stage
of the installation of the pendant system to proceed – refer to the example format at the end of this manual – to be
retained by the installation manager as a quality / safety record.
The following symbols are used in these instructions and on the product in question. The meaning of these symbols
are defined below:
CAUTION!
Failure to comply with this warning could result in serious or fatal injury
CONSULT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE!
Failure to comply with this notification could result in injury or damage to product
SECTION 2: DESCRIPTION
The slab to ceiling carrier is a steel structure that is fixed to a reinforced concrete slab in order to hold and support
the pendant assembly.
This instruction applies only to reinforced concrete slab mounting.
For other types of mounting please contact Hutz Medical Service Department (Refer to cover page for contact
details).

6.1 Installation of the chemical anchor bolts for fixing the slab mount plate to the slab
6.1.1 Place the slab mount plate on the floor and position it as per the site floor plan.
6.1.2 Use a laser pointer to project vertically from a minimum of 6 of the pre-cut holes in the slab mount plate,
onto the slab – see diagram below. Mark the hole positions on the slab.
6.1.3 Use the metal detector to detect if any of the holes would strike the reinforcing rods. If so, re-mark another
hole position to the left or right of the initial projected hole as indicated below.
6.1.4 Place the slab mount plate one side to avoid contamination and drill the 6 holes vertically into the slab.
Refer to Section 4 for the drilling specifications. Ensure that the drill is not bent and runs true, so as to not
drill oversize.

6.1.1 Lock 2 x M16 Nuts (items 5.3.3 & 5.4.3), with a M16 washer (item 5.3.4) in-between, on the machined
groove side on the chemical anchor bolt (item 5.3.2).
6.1.2 Push the chemical HVU sachet (item 5.3.1) point-first into the drilled hole, flush with the slab surface as
illustrated below.
6.1.3 Without delay (in case thr 2-part chemicals start reacting due to the sachet being damaged when inserting
in the hole) turn the chemical anchor bolt into the chemical anchor sachet, using a SDS drilling machine
with the SDS socket adaptor and 24mm tube socket. The chemical anchor bolt has to be turned into the
chemical anchor sachet to the machined groove on the chemical anchor bolt, which indicates the minimum
insertion depth required – see below.
6.1.4 Repeat steps 6.1.5 to 6.1.7 for the other 5 holes.
6.1.5 Allow the chemical anchor to cure for a minimum period of 1 hour before installing the slab mount plate. If
the anchor is disturbed prior to the 1 hour minimum curing period, the pendant may become dislodged
from the ceiling once the full payload is applied.

6.2 Installation of the slab mount plate onto the slab
6.2.1 After the minimum 1 hour curing period, use 2 spanners to unlock the 2 x M16 Nuts and remove the nuts
and washers from the Chemical Anchor Bolts.
6.2.2 Lift the plate to the slab, with the large flange of the threaded stubs facing upward, allowing the chemical
anchor bolts to pass through the pre-cut holes in the plate. Secure the plate with the 6 x M16 nuts (item
5.3.3) and washers (item 5.3.4) on the chemical anchor bolts. NB: hand-tighten or lightly “nip” the nuts.
Refer diagram below
6.2.3 The final torque of 80 Nm must only be applied the day following the insertion of the Chemical Anchor
Bolts into the Chemical Anchor Sachets, to ensure the Chemical Anchors are fully cured.
Warning! Contact Hutz Medical Service Department if the final torque of 80Nm cannot be reached as it could
mean that the Chemical Anchor bolt is not secure in the concrete slab, and the pendant may become dislodged
from the ceiling once the full payload is applied.
